Honda CRV 2.0S CVT vs Mazda CX-5 FWD 2.0 Pro vs Subaru XV 2.0i-S

[mda]

The CR-V is just not in the same league, imho. For this price range (₱1.5M), you'd have to be a hardcore Honda fan to choose the CR-V gas over the CX-5 Pro or the TOTL XV.

... or just a one who needs a good, reliable, practical vehicle for daily city driving ...

And for those who need the most spacious CUV and don't want a PPV...

Disclosure: hindi po ako hardcore fan... our newest Honda has just turned 8 YO, and have passed over the Honda offerings for our last 2 vehicles...

Im wanting crv gas cvt but there is no available unit. My 2nd option is mazda cx5 pro. Im startitng to consider of getting mazda cx5 due. It all depends on implementation of excise tax. What ars your thoughts between the two, would you wait or dive into getting cx5 pro?

Mazda's CX-5's will not be affected by the new excise tax, as they're going to start importing them from Malaysia instead of Japan starting 2018.

? I think they’re going to be affected regardless of where they will be imported from

Of course the distributor can still price it close to its rivals to get better markup.

it would appear, the cheaper cost of production + taxation brought about by the shift from japan manufacture to malaysian, makes it possible for the local dealer, to sell it cheaper than current local price + new tax.

Is this accurate? Isn't the CRV manufactured within ASEAN as well?

Try to backread, lots of info here. The CX-5 Pro is superior to the CR-V gas. Get it now while it's still made in Japan.

Better features, specs, and more premier feel. Drives a lot better, too. Don't take my word for it, see one and drive one for yourself.

^^^ I guess Hyundai made a god job with their marketing for the Tucson. The fluidic looks may have been a turn-on for their buyers despite the lack of features of the base model Tucsons.

Good engine, too.

But it's the 100++k discount + free touchscreen/reverse cam/etc + low dp deals that gave the Tucson good sales numbers compared to the rest of its rivals.

Buy the car that you want ... the excise tax price increase might not be that much ... plus it's really quite late already ...

I think he means if you were to buy a vehicle now chances are it would be delivered by next year already hence subjected na to the new excise tax rules.

If you are able to invoice the purchase at a date before 2018, then you should be alright.
